Snagging list wasn’t fully completed had to prompt for this a year later for issues to be resolved

Ally (Owner)

Snagging list wasn’t fully completed had to prompt for this a year later for issues to be resolved, there was however no issue from persimmon about honouring this . Still awaiting code for alarm system in order to set our own code which is very frustrating.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Roads leading to our street have parking issues. Residents parking opposite junctions as not enough allocated parking spaces. Very occasional anti social behaviour from young children. Our street we have lovely neighbours who all get along and help each other out.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

How long it would take for snagging issues to be resolved.

What is the best feature of your home:

The view. Hopefully no future developments built in front of us in the future.

Brill location jut a little boggy

Dfz (Owner)

Verified Resident

Dec 2022

Overall this is a great development situated in good proximity and major transport links. The only negative is our ground is very soggy, the area is at the bottom/middle of a large hill which seems quite swampy so in the winter/rainy periods in summer the garden gets quite waterlogged

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Set on major road and rail links, walking distance of rail and bus stops. Walking distance to shops, bars and leisure facilities

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The area is very boggy so garden isn’t very user friendly when it’s rainy

What is the best feature of your home:

Kitchen is beautiful in this house and it is in a great location

Great homes in a lovely area!

Emily N (Owner)

Verified Resident

Dec 2022

I feel the development is in a great area with lovely surroundings views and great walks nearby. The deign aspect of the estate they appear to have the majority of the houses back to front- with parking at the back of most houses meaning you have to walk around the house to access your front door which I think is poor design. Building management appears to be ok.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Our nearest shops are approx 1 mile from the persimmon development. Shops are easily accessed by cars. Parking on the development is not great, as not enough allocated spaces for everyone. We are due to have a bus route that comes through the middle of the site however this still has not been set up as of yet due to houses still being built. Bin collections appear to be ok. The area is peaceful and quiet considering how big the development is.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

We would have purchased all our own flooring as the flooring provided was poor quality.

What is the best feature of your home:

We love our home, great sized rooms within the house with a lovely sized garden!

The development of my property is great

Bethany Dickinson (Owner)

Verified Resident

Dec 2022

The development of my property is great I have had no major issue. The issues I would state is the parking around the area. And would love a shop closer by to make it an easier trip for a small family which would be great in walking distance. We also got told about a school being built and would love answers of when that’s available.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The bad aspects of the local area would be the speeding on the roads. The good aspects would be of how quiet the area is.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I’d known more about how many houses were getting built.

What is the best feature of your home:

My kitchen is the best part of my house just the right size for our small family.

Good development with a good customer care team and plenty of amenities in local area

Kane D (Owner)

Verified Resident

Dec 2022

Good development with plenty of green space, building management is good, few design features that are different to what we would prefer but overall happy. Development doesn’t have many shops or anything considering it’s a short distance to the town. Also parking around the development is abit annoying due to a lot of properties only have single car driveways

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Local area Is good, grown up in the area and always found this area of town to be very pleasant. Local shops are good and some nice local restaurants

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

That the walls aren’t fully plastered, only boarded, making dents very common

What is the best feature of your home:

We love the kitchen it’s exactly how we want it, and live the ease of being able to speak to the kitchen supplier to add any other cabinets we wanted after we’ve moved in to completely perfect it.
